Please don't think I am strange but you know when skincare products smell so good you just want to consume them? This is definitely one of them!
This #coco spray from @thebodyshop keeps my skin feeling hydrated and fresh on those long summer days when you have little time for yourself. I always keep it in my person and know I can rely on it in for my Eczema prone skin, which turns red when the temperatures change in my surroundings. And it smells so fruity too! Thank you for helping me keep my colour and stopping me from twinning with a red rose 🌹

I know you can’t really see the words, but this is a little vial of magic curated by @leowithcancer .
✨ this little potion contains blue tansy, rosehip seed oil, and meadowfoam seed oil. I know my skin loves the first 2 ingredients and while I’d never tried the 3rd, I figured it was a good chance it’d be nice too since products like Vintner’s Daughter include it 👀
.
✨ You may have seen a few other reps raving about this little oil and I’d say this was def a ‘blogger made me do it’ type situation. I caved and jumped on to order myself a bottle and test it out. .
✨ The oil is a sort of green tint which helps combat redness and soothe your skin. it smells very herbal/medicinal, very Sunday Riley -Esque, but not as strong. Since I knew I’d be in the sun, I wanted something to help with redness and to soothe any irritated skin. It also helps that the packaging is nice and slim so it fits in my pink glossier pouch with ease 👌🏼
.
✨I’ve been using this for a little over 2 weeks and have used this almost every single day. Safe to say, my skin loves it. I’ve noticed a more even complexion and have been going out sans concealer/foundation - just a touch of powder to help with shine and a little pop of highlight for some added glow. .
✨ $46 with free shipping // each bottle is handmade with love - you can pre-order yours now! Plus score 20% off when you use the code ‘MEOW’! And there’s some fun new packaging for the summer !

Switched up a couple of things in my morning skincare routine. This combo is making me pretty oily halfway through the day. Not sure what’s causing it. Maybe the cleanser? I’m also noticing small bumps on my forehead. Anyway, will stick with this routine for a couple more weeks to see if my skin will adjust 🌸

Love a great Beauty 📦! This one is from @Dermstore May’s BeautyFix Box 💙
.
I’m really excited to try the Replenix Plumping Treatment and @neumabeauty Instant Fix hair protection spray. I’m already using the @skinceuticals Discoloration Defense Serum.
. 🎁What’s in the Box?! (Insert Brad Pitt from the movie Seven-mind you no heads in this box!): .
✨Dr. Brandt Pores No More Luminizer Primer: I’m not a huge primer fan, but I’ll give this one a go once I decide to wear foundation. PS it’s full size!
✨VMV Hypoallergenics SuperSkin Hydra Balance Moisturizer for Combo Skin: I’ve never tried anything from this brand and I’m always intrigued to try a new line
✨Replenix Plumping Lip Treatment: Has SPF 30, slightest minty tingle, hyaluronic acid, peptides and ceramics! I want the biggie of this
✨Skinceuticals Discoloration Defense: Currently trialing this and seeing correction of my PIH and slight lightening of hyper-pigmentation from sun
✨Dermablend Loose Setting Powder: I tend not to use loose powder everywhere, I go in with a small fluffy brush and pat onto tzones and brows
✨Neuma Neumoisture Instant Fix: Always down for another heat protectant spray as I’ve been straightening my hair more lately
✨Peter Thomas Roth Mega-Rich Body Cleanser: Smells of grapefruit and I adore citrus bath cleansers
✨Juice Beauty Stem Cellular CC Cream: Very lightweight, the color blended with my skin tone with ease, left with dewy finish, I may be open to trying this as its very sheer
✨Murad Multi-Vitamin Infusion Oil: It first smells like dermologica lol, its a light weight oil and for those who want extra hydration too, this may be a great option as it has antioxidants too
✨Tocca Giulietta: very light romantic floral scent. Notes of pink tulips, green apple, and amber
✨Fillerina Dermo Cosmetic filler Treatment Grade 2: Temporarily hydrates and plumps skin, great for special occasions
.
Thank you @dermstore for gifting me this months 📦! It’s $24.95 with subscription and $34.95 for buying that one box

Probably the last person on earth to review this product…
🦖
I have mixed feelings about this product.
I love the sorbet like texture and the fresh lime scent. It melts away all my heavy makeup off (including mascara! But not waterproof mascara) and leaves my skin squeaky clean without leaving me dry.
🦖
Here comes the BUT..
The more I used it I noticed tiny little bumps all over my face even though I followed up with a second cleanser. This product is just too heavy/ greasy for my skin (yes shocker! Your local greasy chicken found this to be too greasy!).
🦖
Since this product leans towards the heavy/greasy side, it was clogging my pores when used daily. I started using this only when I have a full face of makeup on since it does such a good job of taking it all off and pairing it up with a second cleanser then a chemical exfoliating toner after.
🦖
I would also like to say that skincare is so personal. What works for you, might not work for Nancy. Always do a patch test before diving your paws into a new product and introduce one new product at a time (plz don’t be like me).
🦖
Final verdict
This cleanser is not my favorite. I do not enjoy the cleansing process as much as I do with my Jordan Samuel cleansers. I feel like I have to be careful with it and tip toe around it. So once I finish this I wouldn’t be repurchasing it.

A very simple #amroutine for today
It’s getting soooo much warmer now so I’m taking some layering steps out of my routine. My skin is transitioning back to combo-oily and any excess moisture only accelerates how fast sebum and oil is secreted throughout the day. I also wanted to see how well the Elizavecca serum performs on its own since I’ve had it layered with another serum this entire time. Curious to see if the epidermal growth factor protein concentrated at 0.1 ppm (0.1 mg/L) is effective.

🍃 #sum37 Rose Cleansing Stick
I found out today that the company has discontinued this product! Seriously hoping that it’s because of reformulation to take out the coconut oil 😩

🍃 #eyenlip Natural Sun Cream
Applying the proper amount on your face and neck results in a light white cast which means this is most likely a chemical sunscreen. It gives almost a glass skin effect and is a shiny finish but not a hydrated dewy skin feeling. Reapplication is also very unpleasant-the previous layer starts bunching up and forms uneven white patches that cling to dry spots and there is a much more apparent white cast. I tried interchanging layers with an organic one on top to both reduce the amount of white cast u get and also to make reapplication of the chemical one easier. So far it’s been working ok

Hey friends! So last week I won a giveaway (which happens rarely 😀) by @purearth. Purearth is a wild harvested award winning skincare & wellness brand that offers ancient Indian Ayurvedic wisdom for a modern lifestyle. Harnessing the potency of botanical plant actives foraged at altitudes of over 7000 feet in the pristine Himalayas, Purearth’s epicurean concoctions are formulated at source and handcrafted in micro-batches.
The giveaway gift was their Wild Rose and Seabuck Face Cream - "Himalayan rosa damascena, sweetest-scented and most admired of all blooms, is steam distilled to its heady, exotic essence in this magical potion. Supercritical wild seabuckthorn, the ‘miracle’ berry and wild rosehip seed lend remarkable skin perfecting benefits." First of all, the packaging looks fabulous. The gift box was wrapped so beautifully that I almost didn't feel like opening it!
First impressions: The cream looks and smells amazing; and the texture seems to be quite light and absorbs into the skin without much effort. What I particularly liked was its non-greasy texture that left my oily skin well moisturized. I can't wait to incorporate this into my skincare routine; but for now, I'll finish my current serums and oils before I start using it.
I'm quite intrigued to try their other products now. Have you tried @purearth?

This evening's skincare ready to go ❤
@lameruk Cleansing Oil to remove the sunscreen and also the eye make-up I put on at lunchtime - I couldn't resist using my beautiful new eyeshadow palette! This cleanser feels so silky on my skin, and it really easily removes any eye make-up, including mascara.
@sundayriley Ceramic Slip cleanser. I'm loving this at the minute as sometimes when I've been wearing so much sunscreen my skin feels a bit gross, and this makes my face feel sooo clean after. I'm not finding it drying at all at the minute, but I'm glad I saved it for warmer weather when my skin is slightly more oily.
@thebodyshop gel toner.
Finishing my routine by moisturising with @lixirskin Universal Emulsion and @kathysueanns Nourishing Eye Stick.

Is #tjthursday a thing?! If not, it should be. @tjmaxx is my go to for bargain beauty and this was my find of the week: @caneandaustin Acne Retexture Pads with a powerful combo of salicylic and glycolic acid to treat and brighten! These were a steal for $20!

🖤 A truly lovely routine on repeat for the past couple of nights! Most posts I chat about the products I use, today I am chatting about the *WHY. .
.
.
▪Cleanse: #omorovicza Thermal Cleansing Balm. A very oily balm that quickly removes all my makeup and spf. I really shouldn't use for this purpose, bc it is quite indulgent, but it's all about the texture and experience sometimes! .
▪Mask: #alliesofskin Purifying Cleanser + Masque.* I left this honey-like textured cleanser on for over an hour Tuesday evening so that the Salicylic Acid could target clogged pores. It's almost empty, that will be a sad day! 😢
.
▪#tatcha The Essence. #ErnoLaszloGlow HydraPhel Skin Supplemental Lotion.* Two essences, two different textures. My skin feels very dehydrated after being outdoors most of the day, these lightweight liquids just feel nice and cool on skin and help to add hydration without the bulk! .
▪#PestleandMortar Hyaluronic Acid Serum. #HonuaSkincare Youth Serum.* Both hydrating serums used for the same reason as the essences, to target dull, dehydrated skin. And it worked! My skin looks plump and glowing in the morning!
.
▪#JordanSamuelSkin etOILe with 0.2% Retinol, a low concentration no-irritation in a beautiful oil base to help tackle that unwanted texture! .

How do you chose your #skincare products of the evening? 🖤

Couldn’t pass up the chance to buy this limited edition glasshouse Paris candle as Paris is one of my favourite places in the world. I thought I’d give #theordinaryskincare niacinamide a whirl as have heard great things. But the #shuuemura eyelash curler has been on my wish list for longer than I can remember. My eyelash curler is my favourite beauty accessory above anything and the one thing I 100% do not leave home without doing. So happy to be the proud owner of this legendary product!! Anyone else love their eyelash curler??

.
🌸 Base Products 🌸
I ran out of my usual Mac Mineralise Skinfinish Natural powder and decided to give the @lauramercieruk Translucent Powder a try seeing as I already had it but had barely tried it. It gives a much more natural look as the Mac powder was adding coverage as well, but it is keeping my skin looking flawless.
When I use the Mac powder I get really bad glasses marks on my nose, and I’ve noticed a significant improvement with the Laura Mercier. It also gives my skin more of a radiant dewy look as opposed to how matte/flat the Mac one looks.
I find I don’t have to use other products to but the glow back into my skin anymore! -
I am also still loving the @toofaced Festival Refresh Setting spray, but have heard really great things about the @coverfx Illuminating Setting Spray, please let me know if you’ve tried that and what you think!

Vitamax 2GS Nano Vitamin C Collagen with the maximum concentration of vitamin C ( 2000mg ) mixed collagen extract ( 750mg ). Unbelievable, this Vitamax 2GS Nano Vitamin C Collagen can show the difference only on the first injection. You could feel the difference on your skin and body.

I absolutely love using a good face oil. I have dry dehydrated skin which is constantly in need of
hydration and moisture. Two of my favourite oils are the May Lindstorm Youth Dew Serum and the
Trilogy rosehip seed. . ▪️May Lindstorm Youth Dew Serum – It says it’s a serum but its more like a dry oil. Its power packed
with 20 plant and botanical oils and COQ10 (antioxidant). Smells absolutely divine. Its for all skin
types even oily and acne prone as it helps control overproduction of sebum. The oil is nourishing
and hydrating without being greesy.
.
Consistent use helps in slowing down the ageing process and
leave your skin plump with a dewy glow. It is quite expensive but you get extremely high quality
ingredients which show result.
. ▪️Trilogy Rosehip seed oil – This is a great affordable oil ($30/20 ml ) compared to the Youth Dew.Rosehip seed oil is known for its scar-fading qualities. Rosehip oil contains powerful essential
fatty acids that improves skin hydration, elasticity and assists skin cell renewal and repair. Its great
for all skin types.
.
I apply this at night, and wake up with soft skin. Does not clog pores or cause acne.
Also helps to prevent scarring from acne and helps get rid of recent scars. .
Both the above oils are great for all you oily skin beauties.
.
Do you use an oil in your skin care routine ? Which is your favourite oil ?
